The three protective surahs were habitually used by the Prophet (peace be upon him). For this purpose, here are two hadiths proving their importance:

When his illness was aggravated, I used to recite those two surahs and rub his hands over his body hoping for its blessings.” (Narrated by Al-Bukhari)

According to Abdullah Ibn Khoubayb – may Allah be pleased with him:

“We were touched by fine rain and obscurity. Then we waited for the Prophet (peace be upon him) to make imam for us. We found him and he said: ‘Have you prayed?’ Then I said nothing. Then he said to me: ‘Say!’ But I said nothing. Then he said to me: ‘Say!’ But I said nothing. Then he said to me: ‘Say!’ I said: ‘What should I say?’ He said: ‘Say: He is Allah, the One and Only’ and the two protective surahs every morning and evening, this will suffice you.'” (Authenticated by Al-Albani)

” In the name of Allah, in the company of Whose Name nothing on earth or in heaven can cause harm, He is the Hearer, the Knower.” (Recite 3 times)
